Since March 2013 every Member has a so called SQUID proxy included in his Account and is free to use if desired. To explain what a SQUID proxy is and what it is good below a little overview first.

nVPN offers on each of its countries and for every member by default a SQUID Proxy solution, which can be used as a standalone proxy, OR in combination with OpenVPN.

You can even chain another VPN: "other VPN service using OpenVPN => nVPN SQUID"

Despite mainly being used as a caching HTTP proxy solution, SQUID furthermore includes support for several other protocols, including FTP(Passive mode only), SSL, TLS, HTTPS and Gopher.

The SQUID config is (as always) focused to operate in a high anonymity, or so called "Elite" mode, so it not only replaces your IP address with the IP addressfur of your assigned Country, but furthermore manipulates the typical "X_Forwarded_For" and "HTTP_VIA" headers, making it impossible to say for whom the proxy actually forwards the data for, or that you are actually using a proxy at all.

Some Users even when using TCP/443 are still facing restrictions or being unable to browse reliable with OpenVPN, meanwhile the SQUID proxy for straight browsing or simple downloading activities, can be a real good alternative!

After clicking the link (its possible you need to log in first) inside the members area you will find a new Download link for your "stunnel.conf" file! (This generated config file is ready to go for both proxies, Squid + Socks5)

3. IMPORTANT: After editing the file it needs to be reloaded, right click on the stunnel icon and click on "Reload stunnel.conf"

4. To later verify your data flow you can click on "Show Log Window" now too.

6. Click on OK in Firefox and start browsing, the traffic flow is now encrypted with SSL. To verify data flow being encrypted have a look at the stunnel -> Show Log Window and you will notice messages similar to the ones below:
